Pastor Boisclair, you wrote: "We of the synods that used to constitute the Synodical Conference hold the orthodox Lutheran theologians of the 16th and 17th centuries with no less reverence than ELDoNA does; however, we do not elevate them to eminences to which they are not entitled. We recognize that their private writings are not sources of theology. We take care that our use of them will not make of them a norm of exegesis as apparently ELDoNA makes of them. They are merely witnesses in so far (quatenus) they are consistent with the Holy Scriptures and the Book of Concord of 1580. ELDoNA’s recent theses on Justification demonstrate that they have exalted sacred “Tradition” above the Formal Principle of Christian theology despite their fervent disclaimers to the contrary." This is one of the more profound statements I've read on LQ in a very long time. Thank you very much! |
Boisclair and Kurtzahn - thanks for the laughs tonight. Walther is going to rise up from his shrine and say, "Stop helping me!" |
